The rack O C T O P U S unscrambles to 75 words. Full-length anagrams come first, then each shorter length in turn, down to the two-letter words that are so useful for parallel plays. Each chip shows the classic tile score, and the quick facts pick out the top ten scorers. If you want to search a different set of letters, change them in the box at the top and press unscramble.

How to use this page

Start at the top for the longest and highest-scoring words, work down for shorter plays, and use the search box to test variations with a blank or a different letter.

Tips

The mix of vowels and consonants in OCTOPUS is what makes it a productive rack. When your own rack has too many vowels or too many consonants, the list of possible words collapses. A good habit is to play the word that leaves the best leftover tiles, not necessarily the highest score this turn. Keeping one or two vowels, an S, and a blank on the rack sets up a stronger play next time, and over a whole game that adds up to more than any single big word.

Questions

Is OCTOPUS an anagram of another word?

No. OCTOPUS has no full-length anagram in our dictionary, so every other word on this page is shorter.

What if my rack has a blank?

Add a question mark to the letters in the search box. The tool treats it as any letter and underlines the letter each blank stands in for. You can add up to three blanks.
